AutoChannel Reviews The FJ


Quote:
The word “typical” appears in most reviews of Toyota products, as in “typical Toyota quality,” “typical Toyota fit and finish,” “typical Toyota attention to detail,” “typical Toyota engineering excellence,” or “typical Toyota engine power and performance.” The all-new 2007 FJ Cruiser, inheritor of the legend of Land Cruiser is thus “A Typical Toyota.” A Toyota that, if priced in the mid-$20 thousand USD as promised, will be a stern competitor to rivals Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Hummer H3, and Nissan Xterra.

The FJ was introduced in concept at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show and reaffirmed at Chicago, 2005. Its design by Calty Research in California began in 2002 when Toyota recognized a need to reconnect with both younger buyers and off road enthusiasts. The result embraces heritage from old Land Cruisers, modern efficiency, and off road prowess.

Good review. Anyone else notice the size of the brakes "3200 mm front and 3124 mm rear" a little big don't you think.

Toying 6 speed

I know Toyota says for legal reasons their vehicles are not to be ground towed, can anybody out there with a 6 speed tell me why you can't tow a manual with the Tranny in Neutral and the Transfer case in Neutral???Thanks, WES BOLL
